everywhen

Everywhen is an unusual way to say “always” or “all the time.”

Everywhen is very rarely used. It most commonly appears as part of a phrase like everywhere and everywhen. It is typically used as an adverb, meaning it is used to describe how or when an action is being done.

Example: These values can be applied not just here and now but everywhere and everywhen.

The first records of everywhen as a single word come from around the 1840s, but it was used even earlier as a noun phrase (every when). Everywhen is constructed in the same way as the much older word everywhere, which means “in all places.”

Everywhen very frequently appears alongside everywhere, such as in reference to things that are described as occurring in all places and at all times. Such descriptions often deal with religious beliefs or fantastical concepts. For example, the creation stories of the Australian Aborigines are sometimes described as not being confined to the past but instead as applying to the past, present, and future—everywhen.

Everywhen is very rarely used, but it has shades of meaning that are different than always or all the time, so it has the potential to be used more commonly in the future. For now, people often use it because it sounds novel or interesting.

Everywhen should not be confused with whenever, which is usually used to mean “when,” “any time,” or “at any time.”

There are always going to be bad people everywhere and everywhen. Forgiving and letting go are key to keeping your peace but if you insist that people (Christians) are going to suddenly stop acting stupid, it would be like any other groups…

Now add to this that God isn't contained in time any more than he's contained in space. Space-time itself is created and God transcends it. So though God is present and active here and know, he's also eternally everywhere and everywhen. 4/
